Dir::readdir and File::from path now both return IoResults, rather than just calling fail! and exiting. This allows the program to continue after an error.
I'd much rather have this separate, as it has the definite potential to
balloon up to a huge size and end up making the other parts of the file
module hard to read. But on the other hand, it meant making a few more
methods public on file... readability over cleanliness, I guess.
This new object is then passed down to the File, so it can see what files are around it. This means it doesn't need to re-query the filesystem several times per file, instead using the in-memory copy.
Also, switch to using the built-in Path#with_extension method.
Currently there's only one numeric column, and that's the file size, so it gets
special treatment.
I was originally going to have a folder file size field be filled up with '-'s
as far as it could go, leaving it entirely up to the column how its field gets
formatted. But then I saw just one '-' working just fine, so I left it like
that. In the first try, columns could do anything they want when padding a
string (including changing the padding character or just changing it entirely),
but now there's no point.
This finally means that the list of columns is no longer fixed, which means it has to be generated somewhere. And guess where it got moved to? That's right, the options object! (see previous commits)
I'm copying ls here because we don't really need the 'B' for bytes to be
listed every time. I think it looks better the new way. Unlike ls, don't
list directory sizes, because I've never found the pseudo-sizes they get
given at all useful.
Also, fix a bug where aligning columns didn't work when the number of
format characters (like '\x1B' and '[') were different between each
line.
This involves putting the entire output into a table before anything
is actually printed, in order to determine what the width of each
column should be. This should make it appear to output slower, as the
first line can only be printed after every file has been examined, but
it's still fast to me.
Also, reverse the way columns are rendered: before, a column took a stat and a name to render; now, a file takes a column type to render. This means that most of the File data/methods can be private.
